How to play this prompt
Strategy notes specific to “Name a famous marathon” — not generic advice.
Sports prompts punish bandwagon answers. If they won last year, everyone typed them.
The winning instinct on this one: skip your first thought entirely and type your second. Tokyo Marathon is a perfect example — completely valid, just not the reflex answer. Chicago Marathon plays the same role as a backup.
New York City Marathon feels safe because it's obviously right. That's precisely why it's worth the least — safety is crowded. Boston Marathon is the same kind of comfortable, low-scoring pick.
Big Sur Marathon and Athens Marathon are the honest middle of this prompt — answers most players know but few type first. If your instinct answer feels too easy, reach for this layer instead of the obvious.
Build yourself a mental shelf for this prompt: Marine Corps Marathon, Athens Marathon, Chicago Marathon. They're different answers, same rarity neighborhood — and that neighborhood is where dives are won.
Rated 4/5 difficulty — only 9 banked answers, so matching the bank is genuinely hard. Precision matters more than speed here.
